Hi, We're trying to migrate our web2py deployment to nginx and running into a problem using pam_auth as a login method. Before I go further I should clarify that PAM authentication works just fine with apache2 and a simple debug run with rocket. Also, we are trying to do this on Ubuntu 12.04, and the nginx setup is basically verbatim from the script provided by web2py (scripts/setup-web2py-nginx-uwsgi-ubuntu.sh).
I am unable to log into web2py with local users, and the only relevant log message I can find is in my /var/log/auth.log: Mar 29 11:38:17 mbroadst-build unix_chkpwd[7073]: check pass; user unknown Mar 29 11:38:17 mbroadst-build unix_chkpwd[7073]: password check failed for user (mbroadst) Mar 29 11:38:17 mbroadst-build uwsgi: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=33 euid=33 tty= ruser= rhost= user=mbroadst There is surprisingly little information on the internet related to these messages, but it seems (from a post on Cherokees forums) that this indicates that the user is unable to access the /etc/shadow file. I can verify that the nginx and uwsgi configurations are correct, and working. Both are running as the www-data user, and the www-data user has been added to the shadow group. Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I'm getting to the point that maybe web2py's pam auth module is the culprit, but I am very inexperienced with the technologies involved here.
